A perfect day is receiving Godly wisdom that helps to solve a problem that has been nagging at me. Sometimes God speaks with me directly. That can happen through prayer, reading scripture or meditation. Sometimes God sends me a sign. It can be something in a book or an email. It very often is through another Spirit-filled person. Having these life mentors involved in everything that you do can be very beneficial. But finding the right person, the one who is truly allowing God to use them as an earthen vessel, can be difficult. Many people are falsely presenting themselves to others as Godly. So how can we discern who to trust? Ask yourself, "Does this person truly love me? Does this person hope to gain something by being involved in my life? Does this person model what they are telling me? Does this person walk with God?" Allowing yourself to trust another requires Godly wisdom. So the obvious thing to do is to ask God for wisdom in all things. Ask God to send you a life mentor that can help you walk your path. Allow God to work within and through you for the benefit of others. Become a life mentor to someone that you think would reciprocate. The bottom line is that God will provide what you need. He will send you the person that will help you. Godly wisdom is not about this world. The decisions you make with Godly wisdom may not make sense to people who are consumed by this world. Very often, the decision you come to may not receive the approval you may seek from others. Take solace in knowing that God is speaking to you and He knows what is best for you. He will lead you down the righteous path and help you to attain eternal life. Pray for Godly wisdom and make your decisions based on the advice that you receive from God.

Doctrinal Clarity, Not Change: Unpacking the Note on Marian Titles

-

The release of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith’s note, Mater Populi Fidelis , on November 4, 2025, seems to have sparked some immediate and widespread confusion, driven largely by sensationalist headlines from secular sources. In response to requests, particularly surrounding a potential Fifth Marian Dogma of Spiritual Maternity , the DDF addressed the usage of titles like Co-redemptrix and Mediatrix. Unfortunately, this has led to a large contingent online and in the media claiming that the Church has "tossed out" centuries of doctrine, with some outside the Church even proclaiming a "victory" over Catholic teaching (This may be the saddest part of it all, that we as Christians, are "competing" with each other). It is essential to understand that this doctrinal note is fundamentally about titles and clarity, not doctrine and change according to the Vatican News. The true teachings regarding Mary's unique role in salvation remain inviolabl...

Finding St Anthony Among the Lost Items

Saint Anthony of Padua, though often associated with finding lost articles, was primarily known in his lifetime as a powerful and eloquent preacher. Originally a Canon Regular of St. Augustine, he was inspired to join the newly formed Franciscan order after witnessing the martyrdom of the first Franciscan missionaries in Morocco. His conversion to the mendicant life under St. Francis of Assisi transformed him, deepening his commitment to poverty, humility, and evangelical preaching. Gifted with profound theological knowledge and a captivating speaking style, he traveled across Italy and France, drawing immense crowds with his clear and passionate sermons, converting many and combating heresy with his unwavering faith and intellectual rigor. Beyond his public ministry, St. Anthony was a mystic who enjoyed profound spiritual experiences, most notably a vision of the Infant Jesus. This intimate connection with the Christ Child is a hallmark of his iconography, often depicting him c...

Jesus Came to End Death and to Build a Church

-

The twelve apostles chosen by Jesus formed the bedrock of the early Church , and their Catholic identity is deeply rooted in their direct relationship with Christ and the mission He entrusted to them. The Catechism of the Catholic Church highlights this foundational role, stating that Jesus "instituted the Twelve as 'the seeds of the new Israel and the beginning of the sacred hierarchy'" ( CCC 860 ). These men were not simply followers; they were handpicked by Jesus, lived intimately with Him, witnessed His miracles and teachings firsthand, and were specifically commissioned to preach the Gospel to all nations ( Matthew 28:19-20 ). Their unique position as eyewitnesses to the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, and their reception of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, established them as the authoritative leaders of the nascent Church, a reality echoed in the writings of early Church Fathers like Ignatius of Antioch, who emphasized the apostles' authority as repre...
